One urn, U1, contains one blue ball (labeled B1) and three red balls (labeled R1, R2, and R3). A second urn, U2, contains two red balls (labeled R4 and R5) and two blue balls (labeled B2 and B3). An experiment is performed in which one of the two urns is chosen at random and then two balls are randomly chosen from it, one after the other without replacement. What is the probability that two blue balls are chosen?

A dog food company want to compare a new lower-calorie food with their standard food to see if it is effective in helping inactive dogs maintain a healthy weight. They have found dog owners willing to participate in the trial. The dogs are first classified as small, medium, or large breeds, and then they randomly select some of each type of dog for one of two groups. One group eats nothing but the low-calorie food and the other eatsnothing put the company's original food. After 6 months, the dog's weights will be checked. a. What is the population of interest? b. Which group is the control group? c. Draw a table/diagram illustrating the treatments.
A consumer products testing group is evaluating two competing brands of tires, Brand 1 and Brand 2. Though the two brands have been comparable in the past, some technological advances were recently made in the Brand 1 manufacturing process, and the consumer group is testing to see if Brand 1 will outperform Brand 2. Tread wear can vary considerably depending on the type of car, and the group is trying to eliminate this effect by installing the two brands on the same 10 cars, chosen at random. In particular, each car has one tire of each brand on its front wheels, with half of the cars chosen at random to have Brand 1 on the left front wheel, and the rest to have Brand 2 there. After all of the cars are driven over the standard test course for 20,000 miles, the amount of tread wear (in inches) is recorded, as shown in the table below.

A22 The color of one’s eyes is determined by a single pair of genes, with the gene for brown eyes being dominant over the one for blue eyes. This means that an individual having two blue-eyed genes will have blue eyes, while one having either two brown-eyed genes or one brown-eyed and one blue-eyed gene will have brown eyes. When two people mate, the resulting offspring receives one randomly chosen gene from each of its parents’ gene pair. If the eldest child of a pair of brown-eyed parents has blue eyes, what is the probability that exactly two of the four other children (none of whom is a twin) of this couple also have blue eyes?
In an experiment conducted online at some university, study participants are asked to react to a stimulus. In one experiment, the participants must press a key on seeing a green screen and reaction time (in seconds) to press the key is measured. The same person is then asked to press a key on seeing a purple screen, again with reaction time measured. The results for six randomly selected study participants are as follows. Participant 1 2 3 4 5 6 Green 0.582 0.481 0.841 0.266 0.685 0.449 Purple 0.408 0.407 0.542 0.401 0.456 0.532 Why are these matched pairs data? In this study, the color that the participant was first asked to react to was randomly selected. Why is this a good idea in this experiment? Is the reaction time to the green stimulus different from the reaction time to the purple stimulus at the a = 0.01 level of significance? Make sure that you check the conditions for the test and explain how the conditions are met,…

At a pharmaceutical company, a new experimental allergen was developed and dermatologists were interested in comparing the skin sensitivity of the new formulation to the existing product. Twenty subjects were chosen to participate in the study. Reactions to allergen injections vary greatly from person to person, so each of the 20 participants tested both products. For each participant, the existing formulation was injected into one arm (left or right) at random, and the new formulation was injected into the other arm. Skin sensitivity on each arm was then measured as the diameter of the red area at the injection site (in cm). The dermatologists wish to compare skin sensitivity for the two products. What inferential procedure should they perform? One-way ANOVA O Confidence interval for a paired mean difference (matched pairs) O Confidence interval for a difference in two independent means Confidence interval for a proportion O Chi-square test for association

A real-estate agent conducted an experiment to test the effect of selling a staged home vs. selling an empty home. To do so, the agent obtained a list of 10 comparable homes just listed for sale that were currently empty. He randomly assigned 5 of the homes to be "staged," meaning filled with nice furniture and decorated. The owners of the 5 homes all agreed to have their homes staged by professional decorators. The other 5 homes remained empty. The hypothesis is that empty homes are not as appealing to buyers as staged homes and, therefore, sell for lower prices than staged homes. The mean selling price of the 5 empty homes was $150,000 with a standard deviation of $22,000. The mean selling price of the five staged homes was $175,000 with a standard deviation of 35,000. A dotplot of each sample shows no strong skewness and no outliers. The agent tests Ho: Hi-P2 = 0, Hại P1 – P2< 0, where ui = the true mean selling price of all comparable empty homes and P2 = the true mean selling…
Two researchers were interested in whether or not aspirin reduces the risk of a pregnant woman developing hypertension. To study this, Researcher One goes to the hospital and finds 48 women who volunteer to be a part of the study. Of the 32 women who said they took aspirin every day, 8 developed hypertension during pregnancy. Of the 16 women who said they did not take aspirin every day, 7 develop hypertension. Researcher Two randomly selects 48 pregnant women who have doctors at the local hospital. Half report taking aspirin regularly throughout their pregnancy: while the other half report that they have not taken aspirin while pregnant. She records whether or not each woman develops hypertension. Which of the following statements are true? O Both Researchers One & Two have designed an experimental study. O Only Researcher One has designed an experimental study. Both Researchers One & Two have designed an observational study. Only Researcher Two has designed an experimental study.
A group of college students volunteered to participate in a study investigating the effect of sleep deprivation on fine motor tasks. Each student was assigned to each of two treatments: staying awake all night and getting a full night’s sleep. The next morning at 8:00 a.m., the students are asked to thread as many needles as possible in five minutes. The treatments are administered on the first Saturday of consecutive months, and the order of the treatments is assigned to each student at random. The data table shows the number of needles successfully threaded by each student. A 95% confidence interval for the mean difference in needles threaded is (1.33, 4.05). Based on this interval, should the researchers conclude that college students like the ones in this study thread the same number of needles when they are sleep deprived as when they are rested, on average? A. Yes, the confidence interval contains only positive values. B. Yes, one subject threaded more needles when…
In a study of hypnotic suggestion, 16 male volunteers were randomly allocated to a treatment groupand a control group. Each subject participated in a two-phase experimental session. In the first phase, respiration was measured while the subject was awake and at rest. In the second phase, the subject was told to imagine that he was performing muscular work, and respiration was measured again. For subjects in the treatment group, hypnosis was induced between the first and second phases; thus, the suggestion to imagine muscular work was “hypnotic suggestion” for treatment subjects and “waking suggestion” for control subjects. The table below shows the measurements of total ventilation (liters of air per minute per square meter of body area) for all 16 subjects. (a) For those being hypnotized (treatment group), test the hypotheses H0: μrest = μwork versus Ha:μrest 6= μwork, where μrest and μwork are respectively the mean total ventilation when they are atrest and when they are performing…
